Petaling Jaya, 19 March 2009: Honda Malaysia unveiled the enhanced 8th Generation Civic. The three facelift Civic models are the Civic 1.8L, Civic 2.0L and Civic Hybrid. On the video, the white car is the Hybrid while the black is the 2.0L

Sporting a redesigned grille and bumper now, the new Civic is also equipped with modern-looking oval fog lamp and smoked headlamps, giving the Civic a sleeker and aggressive look. The rear combination lamps have also been redesigned to give a bolder look by incorporating diamond cluster tail and stop lights.

Made sportier, the Civic 2.0L version comes with redesigned 17” alloy wheels. Meanwhile, the 1.8L comes with new fabric seats design.

Since its introduction in 1972, more than 19 million units of Civic has been sold in over 160 countries. In Malaysia, close to 35,000 units of Civics were sold by Honda Malaysia since 2002 with the 8th Generation Civic having sold more than 26,000 units, maintaining No. 1 position in the non-national mid-size sedan segment for 3 consecutive years, capturing 40% of market share in 2008.

The new Civic Hybrid will now cost RM129,980, 20% less than the previous pricing, after taking into consideration the tax incentives for hybrid vehicles as announced in the Budget 2009.

The on-the-road price for the new Civic 1.8L SOHCi-VTEC is RM 114,980 while the new Civic 2.0L DOHCi-VTEC is going for RM 129,980.

Playback Help:Mycen Videos are mostly presented in high quality widescreen 16:9 standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD), both in hi-fi stereo. By default, the embedded player here loads a standard quality 360p or 480p resolution to accommodate users with slower connections. To switch to higher quality and clearer playback, select the 720p or 1080p option (if available) on the bottom right of the player after pressing play. The transition to HQ or HD may take a few seconds. If things get stuck, just reload the page and try again.

Playing HD or HQ requires a reasonably fast internet connection and reasonably competent hardware for smooth playback. Firstly, let the player's pink loading line fill completely. If the video is still jerky when you replay after that, try closing other programs on your computer to free up resources. Even then, heavy Internet traffic during peak hours might still slow down some connections. If all else fails, simply revert to normal quality playback by clicking on the same button again.

In order to watch HD smoothly, you ought to have a newer version of Adobe Flash plug-in installed on your browser. Go here to download the latest version if your browser is not doing it automatically. Enjoy!
